- arrowsmith 2y agoWow, I had no idea that "Middle East" referred to different regions in different languages - that's interesting. Btw we say "Near East" in English too and it's vaguely defined but it usually includes Israel. But I don't think it's wrong to say that Israel is in the "Middle East" too - the two terms overlap somewhat.
